Medical

Air Purifier
MED12-142(+) Series
 Purity and precision
in critical healthcare
environments
The critical field of patient care requires ultra-clean and purified medical air delivered to operating
theaters and hospital beds with absolute reliability. The Atlas Copco MED/MED+ series of Medical Air
Purifiers offers unique multi-stage filtration that converts regular compressed air from any type of
compressor into internationally certified medical air. These innovative devices provide clean air for all
your medical and surgical applications.

Medical air applications:

• Mechanical ventilation and anesthesia
• Drug delivery via a nebulizer
• Testing and drying of medical devices

Surgical air applications:

• Pneumatic surgical tools
(drilling, reaming, sawing, dissecting, tapping and screwing)
• Pneumatic ceiling pendant operation
• Testing of medical devices
• High-speed high torque motors

Innovation Energy efficiency

The medical air purifier is fitted with a patented
purge nozzle design with multiple orifice sizes*,
enabling the purge rate to be adjusted to suit
customer requirement, instead of delivering a set
of fixed nozzles.
The MED/MED+ series incorporates state-of-the-art
energy management control with built-in purge
control* as standard (optionally on the MED series).
The purge saver stops the purge flow when the dew
point level remains low, leading to a more efficient use
of energy.

Unsurpassed Purity Compact operation

Built to the most exacting standards, the MED/MED+
series is engineered to provide certified medical air
even in areas with high ambient pollution. These air
dryers ensure high air quality in ‘worst case’ but
real-life pollution scenarios.
Through clever component positioning, the MED/
MED+ fits into any space or setting. It comes
pre-assembled and ready for use, ensuring minimal
installation time and cost.

* The patented purge nozzle and purge control are not available on the MED12-17.

A water separator for free water removal together with a fine and coarse coalescing filter,
removes oil aerosol to less than 0.01 mg/m³.

A heatless desiccant dryer reduces moisture content to a pressure dew point of -40°C/-40°F,
removing any risk of condensation, bacteria and mold growth.

A dual cleaning stage includes activated carbon to eliminate hydrocarbons

(oil vapor, smells, etc.). A catalyst then converts CO into CO2.

A bacterial filter at the exit removes bacteria and particles that may have
been introduced in the desiccant stages with a count efficiency of 99.99%.
Medically
certified
Pre-certification simplifies organization and inspection by
regulatory bodies, saving the hospital time and money.
MED/ MED+ Medical Air purifiers surpass the requirements of the
most demanding standards and regulations such as:
• Medical Device Directive MDD 93/42/EEC.
• EN ISO 7396-1 and ISO 14971.

Furthermore, they are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and
the ISO 13485 quality management system.

Pharmacopeia compliant
Built to exceed standards, MED/MED+ air purifiers provide certified medical air, even in situations with
polluted intake air to ensure patient safety at all times. The six cleaning stages of the MED/MED+ have
been carefully designed to make sure the air quality at the outlet is in compliance with the European
Pharmacopeia monograph.
